Newell Coach Corporation announced record-breaking sales of 42 Newell luxury motorhomes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. Newell is increasing production to accommodate this unprecedented demand for its new and its late-mode pre-owned coaches.

"As of October 1 (2007), we've ramped up to an annual rate of 44 new Newells," said company president Karl Blade. "Our available new-coach inventory is currently zero, and our sold-order backlog extends well into next summer."

Mr. Blade credits the advanced, innovative nature of the Newell coach for the company's record-breaking sales. Newell manufacturers its own custom body and chassis instead of using a commercial passenger bus shell, which allows the company to offer things other manufacturers cannot, such as a 12-speed automatic transmission and a steering tag axle that gives its 45-foot coach an industry-leading 37-foot turning radius.

Mr. Blade also credits the advanced exterior styling by Porsche Design for the success of Newell coaches. "Our customers appreciate the sleek, contemporary styling and quality of detail that are similar to a luxury automobile," he said. "Porsche has provided a fresh, attractive European look that has been exceptionally well-received."

Congratulations to all of our friends at Newell for this accomplishment.
